I was on the fence in regards to trading him, but after the 2 rounds of hockey we all witnessed, I think the Flames have a chance to sell high here. The team desperately needs cap space and there are a lot of enticing qualities about Hanifin that GMs will like. Left shot defensemen are easier to find and I don’t think it’ll be as hard to find a more affordable replacement as some might think.
Darryl’s system really makes a defenseman’s job easier and I think it’s a big reason why previously struggling defenders like Gudbranson, Zadorov and Kylington really flourished this season. If the Flames can find their own version of a Trouba-Pionk deal, I’d do that deal in a heartbeat.

This is a comment I see a lot that I don't really understand.
When fans decide a team should get rid of a player that just isn't good enough, they say it's time to sell high. How is it selling high if the other teams are likely more aware of a players problems than the fans are?
I think that when fans believe it's time to sell high, it's too late to do so.
